1615 Determination
Lu Lijun reached the office where Noah was already present but he was not alone. Jake was there as well. He wanted to check on Lu Lijun. "How are you?" Jake asked. "Fine," Lu Lijun replied and sat in his chair, only to find Jake looking at him. "I know why you are here, but I am really fine," Lu Lijun repeated, his expressions serious. "More words? Then, I believe you are ready for something," Jake sat in the chair. "Whatever you are planning, I am with you."
Lu Lijun simply nodded and turned to Noah, "Get me each and every detail about any collaboration Magnus has in our country, details of all of his partners and anyone who is supporting him from behind the scene.
"Already on it," Noah replied. "Seems like you are planning to send him back, not leaving anything for him to chew on here?" Jake commented. "I can't let him stay here for long. If it won't work in the right way, I would use the wrong way," Lu Lijun replied. "He has a good hold in Europe as well. You can create distraction by affecting his business there," Jake suggested. "That's why I need your help as well," Lu Lijun replied as he had already thought it through. "I thought last night you were divested and had no time to think about anything but I seem like I was wrong," Jake added. "He has left me with no choice," Lu Lijun replied and turned to Noah, "To dig dirt on some people, you might have to get help from the base. Get anything, the dirtier, the better it is."
"Got it," Noah reapplied. "There is something."
Lu Lijun offered him a questioning glance. "Hmm?" "Jared Magnus wished to meet you again," Noah informed. "Arrange it," Lu Lijun instructed and resumed his work. "I don't think you should meet him for a while," Noah suggested. Lu Lijun looked at him, his gaze serious, "Why? Do you fear I might kill him?"
"What if I say yes?" Noah asked. "I won't. I have promised her I won't do anything reckless," Lu Lijun replied, "..At least not yet."
"I will take a leave now. Remember what I said," Jake stood up.
Lu Lijun nodded and Jake left.

At Jiang Yuyan's residence. There was a knock on Jiang Yuyan's room's door. Lu Feng entered the room and saw her standing by the window, staring outside in a daze. He cleared his throat to get her attention. Even when he knocked on the door and entered the room, she didn't realize. Jiang Yuyan turned to look at him. "What were you thinking about?" Lu Feng asked as he walked towards her. "Nothing much," she replied. "This nothing much kept you engrossed so much that you didn't even notice that I entered the room?" he stood in front of her and poked his finger at her forehead, "Whatever is going on in this tiny brain of yours just give it up."
"It's nothing..."
"Say it again and I will tell you what you are planning about," he interrupted her. She sighed helplessly, "Are you being infested with An Tian to read everyone's minds now."
"Not everyone but at least the ones I care about," he replied, "If you are planning to meet Jared Magnus, then I suggest you drop that idea."
I need to meet him. I don't want him to hurt Lijun and I will make sure he stays away from our family. Afterall I am the one who harmed his father and what happened after Lu Qianag's accident. I am the one to do it all so I shall be the one to face him. Lijun has nothing to do with it."

Jiang Yuyan stayed quiet for a while as she processed over what Lu Feng said. "For now I will listen to you, but if I feel things take a bad turn, then I will meet him," she said. "That's good enough," Lu Feng smiled contently. "I am here for a day more. Once I make sure he is fine, I will leave."
Nikcy buried her face in her palms, "Tell me it's not true."
"Will it change the fact?" Lu Lian asked, "And don't be shy. No one's gonna recall it. Everyone has their own interesting life full of sex."
She cried out. "How am I going to face brother Feng?"
"Brother Feng is chill. He must be happy to know his sister is blessed with a good sex life, full of...."
"Shut up.
Lu Lian shrugged, "Alright, then I will shut up to not tell you why I called you for."
Nicky recalled some words Lu Lian said. "You said you were celebrating. What is it about?"
Lu Lian made a signature finger movement of zipped lips and refused to talk. She shook Lu Lian's hand, "Okay, I am sorry. Tell me now. Please...Please..."
Lu Lian shook her head. "I am not going to tell you that you are going to be an aunt."
"Tell me already," Nicky said in a hurry but then realized what Lu Lian had just said. "Are you serious? Finally Mister Ming knocked you down?"
"Yeah, you can say that," Lu Lian answered lazily. Nicky, excited, hugged Lu Lian tightly, "I am going to be an aunt."
"A little too tight for a hug, Nicky. You will suffocate my baby," Lu Lian commented. Nicky released her from that tight hug. "I won't. But I am telling you, I will be his or her godmother."
"Of course. My baby is going to have so many rich godmothers. What more would I want?"
Nicky chuckled, "Always a money minded woman."
"I am the daughter of a businessman, born this way."
Nicky only laughed, "I am gonna shower my godchild with all my wealth. Don't worry."
